HC Deb 26 February 2002 vol 380 c1178W
Mr. Lazarowicz

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the total number and value of grants made under the Road Haulage Modernisation Fund is, broken down by nation or region. [37717]

Mr. Jamieson

Decisions on spending in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are matters for the appropriate devolved Administration.

DTLR manages £81.2 million of the £100 million Road Haulage Modernisation fund in England, and £2.9 million for increased enforcement effort in Great Britain.

In England £52 million has been allocated in the first two years of the fund to four areas; retrofitting vehicles through the Clean Up scheme, fuel efficiency advice, driver training initiatives and a self help pilot scheme.
